The Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation is now live. Please find the link to the consultation here

The consultation welcomes views on the key issues of the Local Plan, and we want as many people as possible to be part of this process that will set out the future of the district.

The Local Plan will cover all of Winchester District except for the part within the South Downs National Park (which has its own Local Plan). The Local Plan will set out the development strategy and policy framework for the area and allocate or designate land accordingly.  Once adopted, will be used to guide decisions on planning applications up to 2039.

Where to view the documents:

The Regulation 18 draft Local Plan 2039 and supporting documents will be available for comment from 2^nd November 2022 until 23:59 14^th December 2022 as follows:

1. On the new Local Plan website at www.localplan.winchester.gov.uk

How to have your say:

All representations must be received by 11.59pm on 14^th December 2022.

We hope that you and your local residents are able to take the time to respond to our local consultation. Please do email if you need additional support with the consultation on Citizenspace or have residents who require additional needs due to a lack of internet access. There is also a video on how to submit your comments linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcxhVnMTw3E

Why submit your comments on Citizenspace?

It is extremely important that we accurately attribute any comments that we do receive to the correct policy, allocation or section of the Local Plan which is the main reason why we are encouraging people to submit their comments on citizenspace to ensure that this happens.
